How do I turn off voice control on my iPhone 4s?

Somehow I have turned on voice control on my iPhone 4s. How do I turn it off? I cannot do very much with the phone in this condition.

Hello sdgavzy,


After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning VoiceOver. Follow these steps to find the feature, then your can turn it off and on:

When you turn on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch for the first time, you can quickly enable VoiceOver or Zoom to assist you in configuring the device. Here's how:

VoiceOver

Press the home button three times quickly. This is also called "Triple-click Home".

Zoom

Use three fingers and double-tap the screen to enable Zoom. If you need to increase the level of Zoom, use three fingers to double-tap and hold, then move your fingers up or down on the screen to increase or decrease magnification.

Managing accessibility features using your device

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility. There are settings for the following features:

Vision

  • VoiceOver
  • Zoom
  • Large Text

  2. In iTunes, select your device.
